And now things start to make a bit more sense. Earlier this week I posted on the news that Komoot was changing to require a Premium subscription for users to sync routes to 3rd party devices like Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead, and others. Komoot did make a carve-out for existing users who bought something previously, effectively grandfathering them in. Still, as I outlined in my piece, the move seemed a bit tone-deaf relative to the rest of the route-planning competitors (which allow it on free accounts).
But, now things are becoming a bit more clear. The Komoot policy change actually happened back on February 27th, and today, March 20th, the company has announced that it’s been acquired by Bending Spoons, which bills itself as a technology company (rather than a private equity or other investment apparatus). Though, in reality, history shows otherwise.
The Official Communication:
The press release announcing the acquisition is incredibly light on details (the first sign bad things are to come). There’s no FAQ, no mention of existing staff, no mention of specific ways they plan to leverage each other, etc…No communication to end users, just a single press release filed to the wire service:
MILAN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Technology company Bending Spoons today announced that it has closed the acquisition of komoot, the Germany-based route-planning platform for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
Markus Hallermann, komoot’s CEO and co-founder, said of the acquisition: “For 17 years, we have been on a mission to make outdoor adventures accessible to all. From humble beginnings in our student rooms, we’ve built komoot from the ground up and grown it to 45 million users, making it Europe’s leading outdoor platform. Komoot inspires millions to explore the outdoors, improving both physical and mental well-being, and continues to grow worldwide. However, what got us here won’t take us to the next level. Scaling a company requires a different mindset and skill set than building one. That’s why we believe Bending Spoons, with its unique expertise in driving innovation and scaling platforms, is the perfect partner to lead komoot into the future.”
Luca Ferrari, the Bending Spoons CEO and co-founder, said: “We’re deeply impressed by komoot’s achievements over the past seventeen years, and are enthusiastic about its future growth potential. By leveraging the Bending Spoons expertise and platform technologies, we’re confident we can help komoot go from strength to strength for many years to come.”
Advisors and investors:
Investors that supported the journey of komoot are: KRW Schindler, Outdoor Secondary, MBG Beteiligungsges. Berlin-Brandenburg, and LP Capital (Liquid Partners). Perella Weinberg Partners served as exclusive financial advisor to komoot, and Osborne Clarke served as the company’s legal advisor.
Freshfields served as legal advisor to Bending Spoons. EY Advisory S.p.A. provided financial and tax due diligence services. J.P. Morgan and Intesa Sanpaolo served as the company’s financial advisors.
About komoot:
Komoot is a thriving digital platform for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts around the world. It’s driven by a simple goal: to help people explore more of the outdoors wherever and however they want.
Komoot’s mobile apps and platform provide advanced route planning and navigation tools. At the same time, a content-rich feed of unique stories and adventures inspires its community of over 45 million users to explore and share their outdoor experiences and recommendations.
About Bending Spoons:
Bending Spoons has served a billion people across the globe through its suite of digital technology businesses, including Brightcove, Evernote, Meetup, Remini, StreamYard, and WeTransfer. Its products are currently used by more than 300 million people each month.
Got all that? Yeah, it’s not much.
Who Is Bending Spoons?
Now, who the heck is ‘Bending Spoons’?
Well, the snippet above throws out some well-named brands: Evernote, Meetup, and WeTransfer, for example. However, let’s look at what happened to each of those, according to Wikipedia and various other sources:
Evernote: Acquired in January 2023, in July 2023 Bending Spoons laid off all Evernote staff and transferred the operations to Bending Spoons HQ.
Mosaic Group: Acquired in January 2024, immediately laid off all 330 staff members, folded operations into Bending Spoons HQ.
WeTransfer: Acquired in July 2024, in September 2024 laid off 75% of all staff.
MeetUp: Acquired in January 2024, in February 2024 laid off a “significant” portion of the workforce
Brightcove: Acquired in November 2024, yesterday, March 19th, laid off 2/3rds of US employees
This is in addition to other less-high-profile acquisitions, such as Filmic in 2022 (laid off everyone).
In all of these cases, Bending Spoons has simply taken companies that are generally software-as-a-service/platform-based, and then pulled the website into their existing IT infrastructure and laid almost everyone off. Of course, that doesn’t mean innovation stops. If we look at Evernote, for example, there have been plenty of feature improvements since then.
But if there’s one thing I know about sports technology companies, is that it takes an unusually high understanding of sports at the IT and development level in order to make a company successful. All the most successful sports tech companies in this industry have people who live and breathe sports on a daily basis. Everything from racing to ultra events, to going deep in the woods on silly adventures. In other words: The core audience of Komoot has to be reflected in the developers of Komoot. To date, those two have been aligned.
Whether or not that remains the case going forward, after what history has shown us will be mass layoffs (potentially every single person in the company), remains to be seen. Without any assurances in the press release about those staff, or future features, there’s absolutely zero reason for users to stick around.
Astoundingly, if you re-read this press release, both the Komoot side and the Bending Spoon side is very clear about that. In fact, I’d argue that Komoot’s CEO’s quote is the death blow, saying:
“However, what got us here won’t take us to the next level. Scaling a company requires a different mindset and skill set than building one.”
Seriously? Talk about a slap in the face to your employees (and for that matter, your customers, who filled your platform full of the content that actually makes you successful: routing, collections, and photos ).
Let’s be frank, Komoot: What got you here is catering to our audience. Not IT scale. IT scale hasn’t been your issue. But perhaps they aren’t talking IT scale, perhaps they’re talking marketing/commercial scale. But if we look at Bending Spoons’ history, it’s hard to say that any of these acquisitions have resulted in substantial increases in scale/reach/brand awareness.
What the future will bring exactly, of course, remains to be seen. But if I were in charge of Komoot, I certainly wouldn’t be putting out bland half-assed press releases, hoping that users stick around and pay more for a Premium subscription. Cause if there’s anything I know about nutcases like myself that use Komoot to plan stupid long adventures into the woods: We ain’t got any time for lack of answers and lack of planning – we’ll simply move on to the next site.
How is it that a site that’s literally focused on helping people plan the road ahead, didn’t bother to plan to send out an e-mail to their users notifying them of the acquisition, is beyond me (or, simply, pretty telling).
With that, thanks for reading!

“didn’t bother to plan to send out an e-mail to their users notifying them of the acquisition”
that would have meant involving employees.. who were all left completely in the dark until a surprise all hands
I see the winner of this transaction as Ridewithgps.com.
Agree. They’re expensive but reliable!
Actually … reliable YES, expensive NO if you actually value the work that the company puts in to build a great product and what you get back as a consequence.
Hmm, let’s not conflate expensive with value-for-money here.
Nor ignore the fact that your expensive and others’ expensive might not be the same thing.
For cycling that has probably already been the case. But Komoot’s real advantage has been for multiday through hiking and trail running, which RideWithGPS doesn’t do well, if at all. RWGPS doesn’t have any data on the backcountry and side country hiking trails in my area, and definitely won’t route you on them. Komoot does, although in light of the earlier post from Ray I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to stick around.
I remember the ever increasing prices when Bending Spoons bought the wonderful Evernote. Sad to see them devouring Komoot. Thanks for the update,
I’ve been watching enough TV series and listening to many conspiracy theories to make me think this is not just an acquisition (Bending Spoons, aka BS, likes to lay off people and just let their acquisitions fall where they may), but a money laundering scheme.
After all, they’re BS. 🤣
RIP komoot.
I hate Private equity. Ruining so many companies and lives.
Private equity is not where the fault lies, it’s the owner who decides to sell the company, especially if the workforce has not been considered.
Bending Spoons is definitely not the type of company that has users first in mind.
I have been an Evernote user for about 15 years. Over the course of the 1st 13 years we had pretty moderate and fair price increases. If I remember correctly, we started out for free, then $29.99/y and over the course of more than 10 years it would it would rise to $60.00 a year. Since Bending Spoons took over, the price more than doubled in one year. Now they want $130.00 per year. Up to this point, no improvement has made it worth this much of a price jump. Just the opposite, it is pretty annoying that the program updates almost every day.
I am currently and actively looking for a replacement before my current subscription runs out.
I was also one of the early adapters of Komoot since they had one of the best routing systems for cyclists finding even the smallest back-alley route in Europe. They weren’t as great in the US but still better than most. Now I will have to start looking for an alternative.
This is what private equity does. Extract the maximum amount of income from the company until it dies and then throw it away.
Yeah Evernote became Nevernote at that price, I migrated to Google keep, there are tons of good free solutions to notes.
I love you Ray! You say it like it is. I am sad to see a platform that allows multi-day backpacking trips without all the issues I have with Gaia disappear.
What a shame for the employees and user community who made it a great app. This loyalty has now gone and so hello Ridewithgpss.
I’ve deleted so many apps from my phone after BS bought them. RIP Komodo
Damn you autocorrect
DC Rainmaker supporters can edit messages for up to 5 minutes after posting. Just sayin. Oh, and it supports Ray!
Ow bloody hell.
Am and have a premium because i love using Komoot that much. I used them since inception, pretty much the day they launched.
Still use them.almost daily.
Ugh..
Thats hard world of VC funded startups. Bad news for Komoot stuff bud rather good news for me since I’m building new route planner VeloPlanner.com
They didn’t actually raise much money initially. From the sources I can find, only ~$1.5M a number of years ago in two modest rounds, that’s nothing.
Just did a quick look at your site, out of curiosity, in one sentence, what’s the key reason you’re unique? Not a negative thing, just don’t see anything obvious/different compared to a sea of route planning apps. Cheers!
(Actually, side note, just found a very short German article this morning that mentioned that the original VC investment already paid-out back in 2020, when a German state-backed fund stepped in, resulting in a 20x payday for the VC fund: link to wiwo.de)
“Komoot has rarely raised venture capital in its history. A few months after its launch, an investment fund from the state of Brandenburg stepped in. Because the venture capital fund’s term expired in 2020, the investor had to sell his shares. The return at the time was twenty times the investment.”
As I noted somewhere else, it’s incredibly difficult to track all of the funding rounds in small startups, especially non-US ones. You can pay a bunch of services (e.g. Crunchbase) to get access to some of that, but it really requires that someone on either side of that transaction actually list it. Which, doesn’t always happen in smaller companies, again, especially non-US ones.
I believe in the beginning they didn’t have any VC money. But in Germany there are a lot of grants. They had the office in Potsdam only because the city gave them money. Which is fair enough of course – but also why this is so surprising. They genuinely built a sustainable business – which is so rare these days.
Oh you are right. I was under the impression that they raised way more. Probably mixed it with Strava or Alltrails crazy numbers.
I need to make a better job showcasing what’s unique :)
VeloPlanner stands out by focusing on official, sign-posted cycling routes with interactive maps that show marked routes (ratings and photos will be soon), useful POIs like hotels and campings.
Nothing useful if you want to find course for your workout but definiltly worth to check if you want to plan overnight trip.
I had a quick look and as a mountain biker who often needs those POI’s, I think they are very interesting and useful.
I will reach out to you soon.
Dieter
I’m not Kacper, but I do like his app. My sense is that it’s more bicycle touring focused. The overlay with camping / hotels, highlighting long distance routes like the EuroVelos, multiday stages, stuff like that.
That’s a great-looking site mate. I’m in Canada though, I really hope we get to join the EU :D
State grants instead of VC adds yet another angle: those grants come with the implied promise that the receiver tries to build a sustainable business. Selling off to some “cheapest way to keep the lights on” salvage operation the moment it stops being fun isn’t exactly what the grant was given for.
I know a lot of people who work at Komoot, and would be devastated for them.
Indeed.
For those Komoot employees reading things, certainly interested in hearing your perspective.
Additionally, if down the road in a few months when Bending Spoons does what it always does (lay everyone off), feel free to give me a poke and let me know. Simply to have some documented record of it out on the internet as (yet another) warning sign to future companies. There’s a few companies on the Bending Spoons acquisitions list that I can’t find any further details on after the acquisition, I suppose small enough that they may have laid off everyone and word never made it to the media.
how to “give you a poke” then?
I really hope there won’t be much changes. Ride with GPS or any subscription based service is no option for me. I’ve bought the worldmap and only need routing a few times a year.
The idea that every company has to grow infinitely until it implodes is a cancer on society.
These people don’t want a product to make money, they want money to make more money
Well, this is definitely not the news I was hoping to read early in the morning.
BendingSpoons at this point is essentially a graveyard (and considering this it’s hilarious that you mention “Evernote” and “innovation” in the same sentence), who acquires the companies for the IP and userbases, not to build a better product.
Plus, it the space filled with US-based companies it was nice to see a German one. But, apparently, you can’t live off the good vibes.
BendingSpoons is based in Italy, so still not an US-based company
Good for outdooractive.com
Oh no!
I just switched to Komoot from Strava for my route planning.
I guess I’m going back.
Try ridewithgps – I’m nothing to do with it other than a user for the last 10years and found it good for me
Strava is another company that has turned its back on users and partners. I want nothing to do with them ever again.
the changes Strava are making aren’t great either. I have a feeling we’ll be paying more soon. Looking at RWGPS myself.
Ah, that’s what it was about.
From a certain angle, this even makes sense: Komoot, as a product, is very much finished. There’s nothing they could possibly add without alienating large parts of their user base. They are focused on being “for everybody”, and not just on the subset that would read DCR. No expansion into indoor training, no leaderboards (not even col collector boards), no training analysis (or plans), nothing. Dabbling in any of this would kill the brand they have established (outside of DCR readership).
Replace “scale” in the founder’s statement with “maintain” that’s basically what he said. A weird euphemism for sure, but it’s hardly surprising that he wouldn’t openly say “I handed over the reigns because I don’t want to do the firing myself”
I do agree there’s an element of ‘completeness’ in Komoot. In fact, I think that may be some of the challenges they’ve had in terms of attracting new (consumer) money: Many of the new features only impacted a tiny sliver of their population (e.g. 1%).
That said, there continued to be odd quirks: For example, you can’t navigate purely offline on an Apple Watch. Meaning, you had to have a phone with you for offline maps with the Apple Watch. That seemed like a massive potential opportunity, given how bad offline navigation is on the Apple Watch (highly limited in region, and even more limited in features/planning).
Still, if we look back at other fitness platform products that felt complete at the time, it only took a few years for them to become ‘Who?”, examples such as MapMyRide/MapMyRun/MapMyEverything, RunKeeper, etc… Sure, they might still exist – but they’re hardly in the conversation anymore.
That offline Apple watch feature is something I’ve played through in my mind once. Not for Apple watch, but for PWA in restricted data roaming environments (yes, talking about Switzerland), but the challenges are similar.
You’d essentially want to preload a “worm” of map details for your route. Not a use case catered for by openly available map clients, not without extensive change. (Komoot seems to run maplibre on web and Android, apparently honeymoon is over with mapbox, no idea if that’s viable on Apple watch?). Any project to add that “worm preload” would be at risk of getting its usefulness arbitrarily changed (slashed) by changes to how much storage and transfer volume watch apps are allowed to call dibs on. Not sure I’d be willing to throw much money at a problem like that. Too much risk.
It’s too bad that Bending Spoons seems to ruin a lot of platforms, but the basic model seems sound. A lot of really cool products have limited potential for revenue growth but also a very limited need for manpower to keep the thing updated. Ideally they’d be keeping at least some people with a true understanding of the product and its user base. A generic, competent tech staff can probably keep a platform going for a while, but eventually their lack of market knowledge will cause the product to drift from its users needs.
Yeah, it’s pretty sad. The “pay once, get everything” approach was really appealing and easy to recommend to casual users.
It must be really hard to switch from a growing business to a long-term, self-sustained service in this area. “Choosing” Bended Spoon might be an indicator; they really tried, but didn’t manage to convert users to subscribers for very long.
Escape Collective has a great podcast feature on Sufferfest’s challenges and journey. It seems obvious in hindsight, but the process must be really challenging.
Which, is a good time to mention that I do appreciate all the DCR Supporter’s in this thread (the little yellow badges)! For those interested: link to dcrainmaker.com
This explains why Evernote free went downhill. Komoot free is also going downhill.
Aquisition companies are investment platforms 1st, service offerings a distant second place.
These are bad news indeed. I really hope that there won’t be mass layoffs, but given the history of this company I fear for the worst.
Also, as a long-time user (with a premium account) and hundreds of planned routes, I am unsure on how to proceed. Trail view, direct integration of Google StreetView, great maps have been proven to be essential for my planning. For now I will stick to the platform, but I guess it would make sense to experiment with other platforms.
Thanks for sharing this! This is really bad news – I recently listened to two (German) podcasts with two of the founders and it seems somewhat surprising to me as they are a) doing well financially and b) still have quite an ambition to grow their premium service.
I guess the premium part was too little incremental benefit for most to convert them from initial map buyers to subscribers. At the same time, I think that was also one of the biggest attractions of the platform: you pay once and get a pretty decent base set of features already.
In terms of staff, I think it also depends on the employment structure. It is harder to fire people in Germany than in the US due to stricter labor laws – IF they are employed by Komoot on permanent contracts. Many may be freelancers or on temporary contracts, especially if they are not based in Germany.
Yeah, that’s what I am thinking.. it’s not easy to fire people in Germany and many other countries in Europe. So hopefully it won’t be as drastic as the US style where you tell people not to come to work the next day.
There will, however, always be some loopholes..like saying we are moving the operations abroad and not offering relocation etc..
Generaly speaking, even in Europe, there’s plenty of loopholes they leverage, especially in cases like this. It’s very plausible that on paper, the acquisition might just be for assets (site/branding/etc), and not people. Same goes for moving it out of the company, listing ‘office/location closure’/etc…
After all, some of those companies above were European companies as well.
You’re overestimating German employment laws. They can lay off everybody, they just can’t fire them on the spot, but have to give advanced notice. How much in advance depends on how long a person was employed at the company.
I’m a German and years back I worked at a German company that was acquired. About 90% of the staff (me in included) got their notice within days of the acquisition.
It’s far easier for a company to make a profit if you lay off all your employees and move the development work to a low cost country.
The play book for private equity is put 5% in and borrow the rest. Then take a massive dividend larger than your 5% initial investment if it fails after a couple of years you don’t really care as the lender is left holding the bag. Rinse and repeat.
They finally managed to get a half-decent ConnectIQ-App for Garmin watches and now this… Glad I only paid once for the (discounted) worldwide Map. I was always eyeing the subscription, but life got in the way and I couldn’t afford it anymore. Now I will use mainly Outdooractive (I always switched back and forth between those two anyway). I’ll probably glance at Komoot only to get ideas for some new hiking and biking routes.
Strangely though, this announcement doesn’t really surprise me. With so many Apps in the wild, something like this was bound to happen and I imagine, Komoot won’t be the last to be sold (hopefully though, other Apps won’t go the Bending Spoon path…)
Now, if only Outdooractive could program a decent ConnectIQ-App…
I never understood the popularity of komoot… ridewithgps is so nicht beter and free or Strava.
What makes it so much worth?
Best in-app route planner. Differentation between gravel, MTB, road, hiking… I bought the world map and could go practically anywhere and plan mountain hiking routes. It has community-sourced highlights to support route planning. I don’t see any of this in RWG. The RWG proposed routes are very few and practically useless (no road/gravel/MTB category split, for example).
In the old days of online bike route planning (bikeroutetoaster was still around), I repeatedly purchased a one-week pass on ridewithgps, while I’m the prices of vacation planning. It wasn’t cheap, but it was *respectful*. As in we’re not trying to lure you into buying much more than you want/need.
A shame it disappeared, I guess there aren’t enough sufficiently close to the threshold of pressing a “buy” button for the one-time option but not so far out of control of their financials (or simply rich beyond having to care) that they happily subscribe. And no, I don’t consider “subscribe then immediately unsubscribe” a full substitute, it’s the *attempt* that taints the relationship.
PS: this was supposed to go under one of the ridewithgps posts, lucky that I at least mentioned the name once. Oh my, all this talk about the politeness of one-time purchases, I know what this leads to
If you look at what they did to Evernote though. They whacked the price up many fold. I left them then. What ever happens it won’t be benefical to the end user.
I just feel for the employees, like you said in the article, these people will be “one of us” and deeply into their sports and adventures and you know they’ll have had no prior notice.
I am writing this as a long-term paying user of Komoot (several thousand routes created), and as a venture capitalist with 25 years of experience.
Komoot had taken money from financial investors. Those investors will, of course, seek liquidity eventually. To me, it is surprising that they have had as much patience as they did. Likewise, it is not uncommon for founders to grow tired; I mean, the founders started this business 17 years ago. Therefore, it is not much of a surprise that the founders and shareholders decided to sell the business.
As for Bending Spoons, my business is a paying Evernote subscriber, and I can only say that Bending Spoons taking over Evernote was a godsend. They really improved the platform, and I am finding the product to be operating much more smoothly than before and they are constantly launching new features.
As for scale: I am certain the founder had been talking about commercial scale, not IT sclae. If the company had had more commercial success, they would have sold to a different type of commercial buyer (e.g. a strategic).
To me, the answer to what is happening here is not black and white. I suggest giving it some time and maybe checking back in six months to see what actually is happening with the product. I do agree, though, that it’s probably bad news for non-paying users of Komoot. So, to me, the jury is out.
P.S. Komoot’s history: does serve as a cautionary tale to entrepreneurs to think very carefully about whether their business and business model can deliver the hyper growth and scale required by VC backers. If you’re not entirely convinced that you can build a business (or have the ambition to) that’s worth $500 million or more, do not look to venture capitalists (VCs) to back your company, as this will create pressures that you may come to regret down the road. Today, unfortunately, seeking VC financing seems to be the default option for any type of tech-enabled business, which is regrettable given that there are many alternative options. While these alternatives may seem more challenging at first, they are likely the better choice in the long run for many businesses.
Your second paragraph mirrors my experience. I’ve mentioned something similar here recently, at some point there has to be a return or at least a viable option to liquidate your shares. Based on when they were funded even a 10+1+1 year fund must reach the end of its lifetime by now.
Out of curiosity, did you check if Komoot shares were available at any of the secondary marketplaces? I didn’t see anything. Doesn’t help that the GmbH partnership agreement most likely includes language that forces investors to first offer shares to the remaining shareholders if they want out.
This is what we see in IT though, the owners who started out with all the good intentions get to see the cash potential and it does change.
Eventually free or cheap platforms will want to monetize their offerings and we just saw it with TP and Indiegogo.
I currently use Intervals.ICU and I have no doubt eventually the owner will sell that out (I pay a year subs hoping he will not).
However this is not a closed space unlike say AWS or Azure and someone else will do something that will work for a while. Here in the UK I use cycle.travel for basic route planning and modify after importing into hammerhead.
I find the recent changes to Komoot quite concerning. The shift to a Premium subscription for syncing routes with devices like Garmin feels like a money grab. It’s disappointing to see a platform that was once user-friendly take this direction. I hope they reconsider and provide more value to their users without additional costs.
Removed app
They killed meetup, I used to go to lots of outdoor activities events on that, then Bending Spoons (BS) bled it dry and organisers abandoned it on mass. If you stay anywhere other than a huge city, it’s now a pointless ghost town.
Evernote def. got really bad and really really expensive – and I’m fairly sure some of their policies were against GDPR, such as not allowing downloading of all you data in an easy manner. I had to take up a paid subscription to get my data out, and then wait for a month to get the account deleted. Definitely put me off Bending Spoons forever.
A real shame, komoot is the one Navi option that I saw help new runners/cyclists act on their ambition to go further. You didn’t need to be a geek, have a head unit, even have a smartwatch.. just komoot and your phone to start exploring. For many of those people, the gadgets, training plans, event entries and performance goals followed. As did komoot premium.
a) this is why we can’t have nice things
b) this is why I refuse to pay for/depend such premium services
c) I hope someone is smart enough to fork/clone current komoot so we can make a pirate version at some point..
I literally work for komoot and found out about this acquisition on reddit yesterday.
I concede that, from what you say, this does not look good for Komoot staff.
My only other comment is as a long-time user of Evernote, which was in such a state that I was taking steps to migrate my entire database away, it has seen a transformation with an enormous number of improvements very rapidly implemented and exceptionally good communication with its users.
Bending Spoons has a very aggressive acquisition strategy towards other companies: it buys, restructures, incorporates part of the functions, leaves employees at home and raises the prices of services.
It is not very interested in the community or the peculiarity of the services offered
Critical pieces like this mostly miss the fact that if Bending Spoons is buying you, you’re already on death’s doorstep; otherwise, someone else would have invested or acquired you. Then, what they’re mostly doing is salary arbitrage—they look for US-based tech companies with mostly expensive US-based employees and replace them in Italy—plus, of course, economies of scale in terms of running everything. So your revenue is $1 million a month and your costs are $1 million a month. They’ll raise prices to $2 million a month and cut costs to $400K per month. If you like Komoot and think it should stay alive, this is a great outcome vs the other of going belly up and those jobs gone anyways.
Pour one out for one of the good ones. 🫗 Komoot really was a solid option for a number of years.

Thanks for sharing this, it does not look very promising, given the track record …
